- cheap, simple, strong, durable and attractive looking clothes rackwhich may be used on and readily attached or detached from the foot ofaniron, brass, or other metallic bedstead.

In the accompanying drawings, Fi ure 1 is a perspective view of aclothes rac constructed in accordance with my invention, showing thesame attached to the foot of an iron bedstead. Fig. 2 is a detailperspective view of my improved clothes rack, on a larger scale.

My improved clothes rack comprises a bar 1 and depending arms 2 at theends thereof. In ractice, and as here shown, the said bar am arms areformed integrally and may be formed from a piece of pipe of suitablelength and diameter. bent as shown. The said arms 2 are bent at points asuitable distance from the lower ends thereof to form offset-s 3, andthe said arms are preferably connected together by a cross bar 4 whichis disposed at a suitable distance from and below the bar 1, and is hereshown as provided with collars or head 5 at its ends through which thearms 2 extend, the said heads or collars being disposed at a suitableheight above the offsets 3.

On the front sides of the arms '2 at a suitable distance from the lowerends thereof, are downwardly extending hooks 6, to engage the horizontalrail a of the foot or head of a metallic bedstead. In the lower ends ofthe said arms 2 are clips 7 to bear against the posts I) of thebedstead. Inthe embodiment.

of the invention here shown, the said clips are secured to heads 8 whichare secured to the lower ends of the said arms. I do not limit myself inthis. particular. The cross bar 1 of the rack, whichis disposed, as willbe observed by reference to Fig; 1 of thtadrawing, on the foot or headof thebedstead as the case may be, is provided with outwardl extendinghooks 9 for hanging clothes t iere from of which hooks any suitablenumber may be used, and the said books may be of any suitableconstruction. I also provide the said cross bar 1, preferably at pointsnear the ends thereof, with upstanding )ins or studs 10 on whicharticles, parts or t-lielike, may be placed. It will be understood thatmy improved rack may be made of any desired size or shape, that it willconform in uidth to that of the bedstead on which it is to used, andthat it may be readil attached to the bedstead by merely app ying theclips 7 to the bedstead and engaging the books 6 with the bar a ofthebedstead.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new, is:-

1. A detachable clothes rack for bcdsteads comprising an upperhorizontal bar, arms depending therefrom and provided at their ower endswith clips to bear u )on posts of the bedstead, a lower horizontal barcarried by the arms, the latter being formed with offsets below saidlower horizontal bar to project the lower ends of the arms in a plane ofthe upper ends of the arms and the bars, and

hooks upon said lower ends of the arms be-.

tween the clips and ofl'sets to engage a cross bar of the bedstead.

2. A detachable clothes rack for bedsteads comprising an upperhorizontal bar, upright arms depending therefrom and having inwandlyprojecting oti'sets adjacent their lower ends, the latter being providedwith clips to bear upon posts of the bedstead, a lower horizontal armconnected with the arms above said offsets, hooks upon the lower ends ofthe arms between the clips and offsets to engage a cross bar of thebedstead, and clothes supporting devices on the upper cross bar.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses;
